My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Howdy! My name is Arlo, an energetic and loving pooch hoping to be your new best friend! I am the perfect dog for long hikes and playing fetch in the yard, and would love an adopter with the same energy level as me! I can sometimes be overexcited and will need an adopter to help me learn some manners and basic training. I am a man of many talents, including the talent of escaping the yard! I will need an adopter who will be able to provide me supervision while in yards and I will need more enrichment while inside to keep me happy. I will also need a home without other dogs and would do best without young children.

Additional adoption info

Thank you for considering adopting and saving a life! Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge you need to adopt while making the process a positive experience, so here are some things to know:

+ You must be 18 years of age or older to adopt at HSHV. We welcome all--from any county or state!

+ Prior to visiting an animal, you must complete an application. You can do this at the shelter, or save time by bringing a completed one with you by downloading it from our website at www.hshv.org/howtoadopt.

+ Some animals have special adoption requirements.

+ Adoptions are first-come, first served and holds are limited to one 24-hour hold per family.

+ Please allow at least an hour if you plan on adopting. Bring your driver's license or other government-issued ID with proof of address, a copy of your lease (if it applies) and vaccination records for current pets.

+ Applications are accepted up until 15 minutes prior to closing.

+ Most adoptions are same-day, you'll take home your new friend!

When our animals go home, they've received an initial health check and have been:
+ Spayed/Neutered
+ Microchipped
+ Current on vaccinations (as appropriate to their age)
+ Dewormed
+ Feline Leukemia tested (kittens and cats)
+ Heartworm tested (adult dogs)
+ Temperament tested (adult dogs)
